[SHAWN THE OX]

Stuff to do on Saturday 30th October

We are proud to announce that Dr Drakes will be the venue of the official ‘after show party’ of the live event ‘Shift’ which is taking place in the castle gate that after noon between 4pm-9pm featuring live performances from

Staccato Set,
the Aberdeen- & Edinburgh-based twisted lords of lounge blues;

Kathryn Sawers,
a local artist whose sublime and breathless vocals are accompanied at times by hauntingly delicate and brutal piano;

Ursula Minor,
from Kilmarnock, with electronica, guitars, big beats and spine chilling vocals;

Kasule,
from Coatbridge providing beautifully crafted songs with cinematic soundscape.

This event is Free and will take place in a marquee complete with bar (which is not free)

The evenings entertainment care of the audio dropout boys will kick off @ 9:30 @ Dr Drakes with
The line up,

Rory McIntyre,
From Glasgow a young singer songwriter who will charm you with his melancholy style

Chris Murty,
Local solo artist who has his own unique style and is a refreshing change of pace

Amy Sawers,
Amy blends an outstanding voice with songs brimming with hooky melodies.
She draws from the influences you would expect, P.J. Harvey & Patti Smith
but also sights heavier bands such as Slayer and the stoner rock of Black Sabbath
as a driving force behind her sound. Ably backed by her outstanding rhythm section
she always delivers an entertaining show!

Doors 8pm to 1am
First act on 9:30pm
£3.00 on the door

Thank you for your time
im really looking forward to all of this the Castle Gate event is such a good thing for the city culturally
Its like FREE AT THE DEE only good!

The Castlegate thing should be ace, and a post-C'gate Audio Dropouts will be the icing on the cake (or the batter on the white pudding, if, like me , you prefer savoury things).

I will be there.

(At both).

I enjoyed Chris and Amy at the LemonTree last night, and look forward to a bit of melancholia from Rory McIntyre.

Sounds ace!!!!!!!!!

[spellchecker]

i just wanted to check... will there be a bar in the marquee? it seems such a silly thing to ask, i mean, what's a marquee with no bar.... but i have to check....

[Dizzy Storm]

yes its licensed!

Much arm twisting and some progressive thinking from the ACCP has ensured then many can get pished on the Castlegate without having to share a bottle of Diamiond White or get arrested!

What a splendid day, really cool & lots of fun
The castle gate event was brilliant I arrived late due to having to man the shop so I missed
The Staccato Set (bummer) but just arrived in time for the end of
Kathryn Sawers set who was wonderful and truly dark and wonderful
And it was so cool to hear Kasule thru a massive sound system in a big space ‘epic’
But I had to split down to Dr Drakes and help set things up for the evenings festivities

The evening was wonderful I had a great time
Rory McIntyre was great ‘his first solo gig’ he did really well and played an excellent Smiths cover
A big thanks to Chris Murty
and a really big thanks to Amy, Euan and Dave who’s set was blinding totally rocking ’I haven’t seen that many people dancing to a band for a while’
And it was Amy’s first Dr Drakes gig long overdue

Thank you !

[Alan Cynic]

No....thank YOU for organising it!

I had a great night (the bits I can remember).
